Latest English Premier League winners, Leicester City celebrated their win of the trophy and the whole of the city turned up to celebrate with the team.

More than 240,000 people lined the streets to watch Leicester City parade on open-top buses in celebration of their Premier League title win. The victory parade started at Jubilee Square in the city with the team later taking to the stage at Victoria Park.
Leicester manager Claudio Ranieri said it was "unbelievable" the whole city had seemingly turned up to celebrate.

Ranieri added "I think this [the crowd] is because the team won but also they played with the heart, with the soul and I think the people understand this."
